    While the Nets were discussing the possible deal for Johnson, they also were deep in talks with the Houston Rockets about acquiring power forward Luis Scola for a package of expiring contracts and a future draft pick,

    While the Nets were discussing the possible deal for Johnson, they also were deep in talks with the Houston Rockets about acquiring power forward Luis Scola for a package of expiring contracts and a future draft pick, league sources said. There was a sense on both sides that a deal could be imminent, but it eventually hit a snag and fell apart, sources said. Unless the two sides completed the deal before midnight ET on Saturday, a potential trade would have to wait until July 11 for completion, when the league lifts its embargo for transactions.

    Brooklyn can certainly give the Rockets their own 2013 pick back, which BimaThug would love very much.

    Morey could sure learn a lot from Billy King. He gets the deals done!

    Damnit... so close.

    I don't care what the Rockets would have gotten in return, it's just time for Scola to go.

    Expiring deals AND a draft pick? So we shed cap space, free up room for another Power Forward on the roster, AND cripple Brooklyn's cap space to prevent them from landing Howard, all at the same time?

    I wonder why it fell apart.

    Likely either of these packages?:

    Farmar, Petro, J.Williams
    or
    Morrow, Petro, J.Williams

    Like giving up the sixth pick for a half lockout shortened season for Gerald Wallace?

    King does get deals done. Just like Isiah Thomas did for the Knicks.

    That future draft pick could be worth something( depending on the lottery protection)
